    Pro tip. Use ear plugs for bolt holes that are going to be used. Saves time chasing threads.

    Best to give the hint of using high temp primer and high temp paint…it’s always fun to build an engine…and watch all the paint heat up and bubble away on the first start up 😂

      Cheap enamel works better than high heat paint.... especially if painted in the hot sun....

    Nice to see someone else using paper when taping up an engine. Most everyone else uses tape on the whole thing. That painters tape has gotten crazy expensive! But I would use some earplugs on the bolt holes though!

      The only problem with cars is the painting is like 1 percent of the whole process. The amount of prep work to get a panel or a whole car ready to spray is the other 99

  • @nikolayordanov9760

    Earplugs in the boltholes please. Primer plus one or two layers of paint means them bolts aren't going in easy

    I've seen some Cummins KTA 1150 motors that were that color, and a KTA is a "hot rod" motor

  • @MrTheHillfolk
    @MrTheHillfolk Рік тому +21

    During the prep process before a final wipe down with solvent ,I like to run a propane or mapp gas torch over the surfaces until you see it get warm enough for the condensing water to boil away.
    It helps draw the oils out of the metals pores, so it doesn't happen later on and ruin a paint job.

    • @KekeeBlack
      @KekeeBlack Рік тому +2

      I second this! I use an old butane dab torch and it works. Probably slower than map gas but you can see everything come out and dry off. It’s a game changer!

      Correct....If sun shining allowing to set in the sun even if cold out set in sun near window the radiant heat will suffice..... applying even cheaper enamel paint will lay down and last much longer...😎

My engine stand is old school Hemi 454 size engine stand. It doesn't have that newfangled rotate the block on the stand crank handle. I must say I was disappointed.

      I save those used foam ear plugs in a container or buy cheap ones and use them in all the hole. Bonus you can reuse them after painting. Works excellent and way faster than chasing all those threaded holes.
